The schedule for June 22 is as follows:

7:00 am – Miami at Marshall (Football) – played Sept. 29 in Huntington, WV, these rivals are the only East Division teams to make an appearance in the eight MAC Championship games. As usual when the RedHawks and Thundering Herd square off, this one goes down to the final minutes before the outcome is decided.

10:00 am– Northern Illinois vs. Troy (Silicon Valley Football Classic) – the Huskies first bowl game since 1983 and the Trojan’s first-ever post season game at the I-A level. Down 14-0 early, the Huskies’ comeback is sparked by Garrett Wolfe’s 50-yard touchdown run. It is A.J. Harris, however, who steps in for an injured Wolfe and leads NIU with 120 rushing yards and a touchdown during the rally.

1:00 pm – Northern Illinois vs. Buffalo (MAC Men’s Basketball Tournament) – a first round game before a raucous crowd of 6,108, the Bulls and Huskies meet in the opening round for the second consecutive season. Tied at 58 all with just under six minutes left in the second half, Daniel Gilbert paved the way down the stretch with six points for UB.

2:45 pm – Marshall at Ohio (Men’s Basketball Tournament) – the rivals, whose campuses are just 90 miles apart, met in a first round tournament game in Athens, Ohio. The Bobcats bolted to a 10-0 led, however the Thundering Herd closed the gap quickly and the game was competitive throughout as the Bobcats began their run into the NCAA Tournament.

4:00 – Bowling Green at Toledo (Football) – these two longtime MAC rivals have met every year since 1948. The Rockets needed a win to capture the divisional title but trailed 27-7 at the half before staging a huge comeback.
